UNITED STATES PATENT onnron ROBERT R. ELLIS, OF MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE.

PIN CUSHION To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT R. ELLIs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Memphis, in the county of Shelby and State of Tennessee, have invented a new and useful Improvement in a Pincushion, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to pin holders, and more particularly to pin holders to be. arranged on the arm of a sewing machine, the object being to provide a pin holder which is so constructed, that it can bereadily secured on the arm of a sewing machine or person so that it will always be at hand.

Another object of my invention is to provide a pin cushion which is very simple and chea in construction, and one which is provide with means for securing it in place.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawing forming a part of this specification:Figure 1 is a perspective View of my improved pin cushion showing it arranged -on the arm of a sewing machine. Fig. 2 is a sectional View of the same, and

' Fig. 3 is a section taken on the line 33 of Fig.2.

In the drawing A indicates a horse-shoe shaped pin cushion which may be formed of c Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed May 18, 1907.

Patented June 16, 1908.

Serial No. 374,336.

apart sothat it can he slipped over an arm and that the spring being embedded in the stuffing of the cushion will be surrounded by a padding which will prevent the cushion from scarring the object it is placed on.

In constructing this cushion I preferably employ a flat steel spring as shown in the drawing, but it is of course understood that a wire s ring can be embedded in the stufiing and wil answer the same purpose as a flat spring.

From the foregoing description it will be readily seen that I have provlded a novel pin cushion which can be easily and quickly at tached to or removed from the arm of a sewing machine, and one which is so constructed that it will receive pins on all sides without any danger of the pins coming into contact with the spring.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A horse-shoe-shaped pin cushion having a bowed clamping spring arranged therein.
